NEW DELHI: Two days after taking a dip in the Yamuna river, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva was admitted to RML Nursing Home earlier on Saturday due to a 'skin infection and breathing difficulties'.
Pollution levels in the Yamuna river remain alarmingly high in the national capital, thick and toxic foam was observed floating.
On October 24, Sachdeva had taken a dip in the Yamuna to protest against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government regarding rising pollution in both the river and the city.
He remarked, "We have set up a red carpet for 'shahi' (royal) people. We also arranged two chairs, a tradition initiated by Atishi herself."
He added, "The red carpet is for those accustomed to 'Sheesh Mahal.' We’ve arranged two chairs because if Atishi comes, she will need them. And if Arvind Kejriwal visits, we will be happy to see him, even though he is currently on bail. We will wait a bit longer for their arrival."
